title: [Effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygenation as a factor of increasing the resistance of the human body to space flight conditions].
abstract: In four experimental runs (30 test subjects in 407 tests), the beneficial effect of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) on flight tolerance was demonstrated. HBO sessions (7-8 sessions of an hour in duration during 10-12 days at pO2 = 2 atm) helped subjects with poor altitude tolerance to increase the altitude ceiling by 1 km and reserve time at altitudes of 6-7 km by 3-4 min, the effect being persistent for 2-3 months. Statokinetic tolerance of subjects with medium motion sickness susceptibility grew by 2-2.5 times after the above HBO sessions. As compared to regular rest, the HBO treatment shortened two-fold the period of recovery of the health state and work capacity of operators, which went down during flight, and increased 15-20% the time of repeated work prior to failure in a stressful environment.
